  • Calling SQL * LOADER  in stored procedure

    Hi Experts,
    Can we call sql*loader in stored procedures? . If yes , please let me know the syntax.
    Any help will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    You can also use dbms_schedular to execute any shell or batch file - i guess ->
    BEGIN
      -- UNIX
      DBMS_SCHEDULER.create_job(
        job_name             => 'unix_command_job',

  • Returning SQL cursor from Stored Procedure

    Hi,
    I have a query regarding returning sql cursor from stored procedure to java in oracle 11g.
    I want to query some data ex: my query returns A, B, C. Also, now I want to query some other data ex: D, E, F. Now I want to return this data as an sql cursor as a single row . Example: A,B,C,D,E,F. Is it possible to return/create a cursor in stored procedure?
    assume both query returns equal number of rows.. however both are not related to each other..

    assume both query returns equal number of rows.. however both are not related to each other..It sounds like what you need is a ref cursor.
    First thing to remember though is that cursors do not hold any data (see: {thread:id=886365})
    In it's simplest form you would be creating a procedure along these lines...
    SQL> create or replace procedure get_data(p_sql in varchar2, p_rc out sys_refcursor) is
      2  begin
      3    open p_rc for p_sql;
      4  end;
      5  /
    Procedure created.
    SQL> var rc refcursor;
    SQL> exec get_data('select empno, ename, deptno from emp', :rc);
    PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
    SQL> print rc;

            50 IT SUPPORTWhich takes an SQL statement (as you said that both your queries were unrelated), and returns a ref cursor, and then your Java code would fetch the data using that cursor.
    Now, as for getting your rows to columns and combining two queries that do that... something along these lines...

  • What is the data dictionary that stores the SQL text of stored procedures?

    I am handling both Oracle 8i on IBM AIX 5L and Oracle9i on SUN Soliars 8 /9.
    What is/are the data dictionary tables, or v$ views that store the SQL text of stored procedured and triggers?
    Thank you in advance!

    If the procedures are not wrapped, you can view them in the dba/all/user_source view. Trigger bodies can be seen in dba/all/user_triggers view.

  • SQL*Loader with Stored Procedure slow

    I have a situation where if SQL*Loader is running then stored procedures returning cursors are excruciatingly slow (about 3 minutes) if the same stored procedure is run via SQL statements it runs fine. The stored procedures also run fine if SQL*Loader is not running. Has anyone seen this before, any thoughts?
    Thanks,
    ed

    My query was:
    SELECT *
    FROM scheme.table@as400 a
    WHERE a.vlvalr = to_char(p_vlvalr)
    and a.vlvals = to_char(p_vlvals);
    Without the to_char! When I add the to_char, the problem is solved!

  • File Ownership while executing sql script from stored procedure

    We have a test_command.sql script which is spooling the result into a file. From database we have one Store Procedure(run_sql) which is
    calling and executing the .sql script.
    When we are calling the sql script directly from the database, i e SQL > @/dccops/test_command.sql it is creating the
    file under the Ownership of OS user which is connected to the system.
    The problem we are facing is when we are executing the stored procedure i e exec run_sql(), the file is creating under
    Oracle User.
    Could u please suggest me a solution inorder to create the output file under the user who is logged to the OS.

    First of all, your usage of IM speak is NOT appreciated. Please do not address anyone as if they were a 12-year old.
    'Our Applcation is in C. So we have to call the procedure to run the sql script.'
    This is just utter nonsense!
    Oracle has Pro*C which allows Embedded SQL in C. There is also OCI (Oracle Call Interface) to call Oracle directly in C, and there is OCCI, to do the same in C++.
    Apart from that, Oracle has Ole DB for Windows platforms, to allow for a .NET compatible interface to Oracle.
    There is NO NEED AT ALL to call PL/SQL to run a SQL script.

  • How to Update the DataSet populating from Stored Procedure with SYS_REFCURS

    I created a dataset with the wizard of VS2010 and link each DataTableAdapter stored procedures to insert, update, delete and select (which returns a SYS_REFCURSOR). When you run the program recovery and visualize data in a form, but if I want to update data, there is no change. Use the following code to update, insert and delete:
    BindinSourceEmployee.EndEdit ()
    EmployeeTableAdapter.Update (DataSetHR.Employees)
    Roberto

    What is the problem you are trying to solve?
    Presumably, when you're creating a stored procedure, you know what schema owns it. So it's pretty trivial to simply create a local variable L_OWNER in your procedure, assign it the value of the schema owner, and then use that owner. Most people don't really need to figure out at runtime what they already knew at compile time.
    Barring that, you could inspect the data dictionary as user130038 suggested. That requires that you know the name of the procedure (which would likely also have to be a local variable that is initialized to a hard-coded value. And if there are multiple users that own procedures with the same name, it may not be reliable.
    Inspecting the call stack is the most reliable and dynamic approach. But it is also the most costly in terms or runtime performance and in terms of code complexity.

  • Invokin SQL*Loader from a stored procedure

    I try to invoke SQL*LOADER from within a database package by using external C procedure (the procedure calls the system() C function) but the loader generates the following error in its log file :
    SQL*Loader -523: error -2 writing to file (STDERR)
    and no data is uploaded.
    I have tried to use system() from within database procedures to execute OS commands and it works. Does anyone know what is the problem with using system() to execute "sqlldr <parameters>"? Is there some other way to call the loader from within a stored PL/SQL procedure?
    Thank you very much for your help.

    Hi
    What is your task and why you are trying to invoke SQL*Loader from strorage procedure or package? Maybe the redirecting of stderr will resolve your problem but thik is it the best way to do your job.
    I am not sure, that invoking other executables from Oracle instance is good idea.

  • How to execute .sql file in Stored Procedure?

    Hi,
    I have an urgent requirement, where i have to execute .sql file form Stored Procedure.
    This .sql file will have set of update statement. I need to pass value to this update statement.
    Kindly please help me.
    Regards,
    Irfan

    This is required as part of Data Migration where  i have to do 100 of table's update. Each time update table will defer, so its better to have in separate script file (.sql). Can u paste some sample/syntax to exceute .sql file from stored procedure. I am new to this PL/SQL.
    How have you determined that it's "better" to have seperate scripts?  I assume you mean the table name will "differ" (and not "defer" - I assume that's just because English isn't your first language? no problem - I think I understand what you're asking).
    So what I think you're asking is that you have dynamic table names but each table needs to be updated in the same way?
    Question: Why do you have tables with different names that all need the same process doing to them?
    Assuming it's a valid requirement (and 99% of the time doing dynamic coding implies it's not).... you could use dynamic code, rather than 'scripts'...
    e.g.
    create procedure update_table(tbl_name varchar2) is
    begin
      execute immediate 'update '||tbl_name||' set lastupdate = null';
    end;
    As you haven't bothered to provide a database version, any example code/data or explanation of what you're actually doing, you're not going to get any detailed answer.  Please do take the time to read the FAQ and post appropriate details so people can help you.

    Hi LenFinkel,
    May I know what is purpose of this requirement, as olaf said,you may parse the T-SQL code (or the execution plan), which is not that easy.
    I have noticed that the condition values in your Stored Procedure(SP) are hard coded and among them there is a date values, I believe some day you may have to alter the SP when the date expires. So why not declare 3 parameters of the SP instead hard coding?
    For multiple values paramter you can use a
    table-valued parameter. Then there's no problem getting the values.
    If you could elaborate your purpose, we may help to find better workaround.

  • Invoke SQL Loader from PL/SQL Procedure

    hi
    Is there any way to invoke sqlloader from a PL/SQL Procedure ?
    Thanks
    Ashish

    'HOST' is not a PL/SQL command, it's a SQL*Plus command.
    If you think about it for a moment, being able to run an O.S. command, such as SQL*Loader, from within the database is pretty dangerous. I suspect this is why Oracle has no way of doing it. Otherwise, a you'd be able to execute an O.S. command as the user 'oracle' (on UNIX - probably 'SYSTEM' on NT, which is even worse!!!).
    All it takes is to change this :
    execute '/usr/oracle/bin/sqlldr user/password@DB file=input.txt' ;
    to this :
    execute 'rm -rf /usr/oracle' ;
    and you can start checking the job adverts...

  • How we can automate the data loading from BI-BPC

    Dear  Guru's
    Thanks for watching this thread,my question is
                  How we can load the data from BI7.0 to BPC.My environment is SAP-BI 7.0 and BPC is 7.5 MS version and 2008SQL.
    How we can automate the data loading from  BI- BPC Ms version.Is manual flat file load is mandatory in ms version.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Srinivasan.

    Here are some options
    1) Use standars packages and schedule them :
        A) Openhub masterdata file into a flat file/ BPC App server  and Schedule the package - Import Master Data from a Data File and  other relevent packages.
    2 ) Using Custom Tasks in Custom Packages ( SSIS)
    Procedure
    From the Microsoft SQL Server Business Intelligence Developer Studio, open the Microsoft SSIS folder.
    Create a new package, or select an existing package to modify.
    Choose  Task  Register Custom Task .
    In the Task Location field, browse for the target .dll file.
    Note
    By default, the .dll files are stored in BPC/Websrvr/bin.
    End of the note.
    Enter a task description, select an appropriate icon, then click OK.
    Drag the icon to the designer window. Enter data as required.
    Save the package.

  • Shell script execution from stored procedure

    I am working on a project thallt requires a shell script be executed upon the execution of a stored procedure with Oracle 10g. I have researched the matter, but there does not seem to be much out there on how to execute lines of UNIX commands by use of a stored procedure. If anybody has ever gotten this to work, any information would be appreciated. If the task is impossible, let me know, I just could not confirm that it was not something that could be done.

    A combination of things can help you out here - none of which are easy or particularily secure.
    1) From plain PL/SQL, you can call 'external procedures'. That is basically a DLL or .so that the listener can load on demand, and that external procedure (EXTPROC) can run whatever you need from the C program. C can, in turn, call a shell.
    This is fairly well documented, but be aware that 1/2 of the info is in the PL/SQL docco and the other half in the Networking docco.
    A fair bit of info is available in metalink as well - if you have access, simply search on extproc.
    2) You can call a Java stored procedure which in turn has hooks to the outside world. That will probably require a PL/SQL to Java wrapper to make it available in your environment. Oracle has been using this one successfully for a while.
    3) Write the script using UTL_FILE and have a daemon look for, and execute, the script.
    4) Since you are using 10g, use the new job scheduler. It has excellent capability to interact with the OS, and it is available as a PL/SQL package (DBMS_SCHEDULER). I find the interface a bit heavy, but that could be wrapped by a library tailored to your specific needs.
    Let us know what you decide to do in the end (and why) - it is an interesting topic.
